China Beyond Borders - EP3
Episode 3 of the "China Beyond Borders" series explores a recent cyberattack uncovered by Proofpoint, a leading American cybersecurity firm specializing in email security and threat defense. In May 2024, Proofpoint identified a China-linked hacker group, "UNK_SweetSpecter," targeting technical personnel connected to a top AI company. Using phishing emails with malware, the group sought to steal intellectual property, coinciding with U.S. export restrictions on AI models. Despite China's improved intellectual property laws, enforcement remains inconsistent, fueling international concerns about technology theft. Experts urge stricter research oversight to address China's aggressive strategies in global tech acquisition.
